This single Coal River Valley vineyard continues to show just how good Tasmanian Chardonnay can be.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnder Michael Hill Smith MW, Martin Shaw and winemaker Adam Wadewitz, the focus remains firmly on this remarkable site. A mild summer and well-timed rain in 2025 allowed slow, even ripening, with a slightly later harvest delivering concentrated fruit and excellent acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fruit was hand picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak. Ten months in barrel with gentle stirring was followed by another four months on lees in tank, building texture and giving the wine time to settle before bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite peach, lime and a little struck match come with creamy almond and a savoury, salty edge. It’s tightly wound at first, gaining weight as it opens, with firm acidity and a gently pithy finish that carries the flavour a long way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGive it time in the glass now, or cellar it as long as you like.
